Some track videos are up! I posted them in the Calabogie thread here also http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...517#post984517.

Here are a few vids from the last MCO Lapping School on May 25th.
It was a crazy cold day (was actually snowing when we arrived at 7:00am).

Temps started at 2-3 deg C and gradually warmed up to 11C by end of day. Wet sessions until lunch when it finally dried for the afternoon.

Total of 5 FR-S/BRZ at the track that day!

10:00am
A rather cold (4C/39F) and still wet session, spent some time getting used to the new tires, Conti Extreme Contact DW, very impressed with the wet grip.

Some fun chasing the STi for a bit and getting past some others.

1:00pm
Finally dry for the first afternoon run and warmed up a tad to 8C. Lots of traffic and fun catching up to some packs of cars.

First lap clear and then I catch some traffic.
Checkout the flame-throwing Miata with super-tall wing at 12:15. Radical storms by at 13:15.
Fun keeping pace with the GTi toward the end.

3:15pm
Much warmer now finally, but still only 11C. Much quicker laps.
Clear laps until 7:57, then S2000, Vette and finally catching Mike in his blue Miata.

4:30pm
Relatively quiet last session of the day, at 8:00 I drive through the pits since Civic wasn't letting the 911 ahead of me by.
At 12:00 waive past the Lotus and keep pace with him. Thought it would be tough to match the cornering, but I am able to catch him in the corners but he just flies away on the straights.
A little bobble at the end of the last lap, back end tries to come around, oops!
